Apache Drill vs PrestoDB
Pros
- queries multiple data sources with ease.
- supports sql, so non technical users who know sql, can run query sets
- 3rd party tools, like tableau, zoom data and looker were able to connect with no issues
Cons
- deployment. Not as easy
- configuration isn't as straight forward, especially with the documentation
- Garbage collection could be improved upon
Return on Investment
- Configuration has taken some serious time out.
- Garbage collection tuning. is a constant hassle. time and effort applied to it, vs dedicating resources elsewhere.
- w/ sql support, reduces the need of devs to generate the resultset for analysts, when they can run queries themselves (if they know sql).
